\"\"Sports Desk:<\/strong> Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim hit fifties to help Bangladesh rebuild the innings after a top-order collapse in the first Test against Pakistan in Chittagong on Friday.<\/p>\n

Liton was on 62 alongside Mushfiqur on 55 at the tea break, guiding Bangladesh to 171-4 on the first day in Chittagong.<\/p>\n

Opting to bat first, the hosts looked in all sorts of trouble at 49-4 before the duo turned the tide.<\/p>\n

Liton led the charge, hitting seven fours and hoisting off-spinner Sajid Khan over long on for his only six in the innings.<\/p>\n

He struck left-arm spinner Nauman Ali to bring up his 10th Test fifty before Mushfiqur followed suit, his 24th in Tests, with a four off Hasan Ali.<\/p>\n

Pakistan's bowlers had dominated the opening session as Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf and Sajid each claimed a wicket.<\/p>\n

Afridi set the tone for Pakistan with a gem of a delivery in the fifth over that rose sharply to glance off opener Saif Hassan's bat to Abid Ali at short leg. He made 14.<\/p>\n

Hasan Ali then trapped the other opener, Shadman Islam, leg-before for 14.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque fell soon afterwards, scoring just six as Sajid spun one sharply to take an edge that was gladly accepted by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.<\/p>\n

The umpire initially declared Mominul not out but the decision was overruled on review.<\/p>\n

Najmul Hossain got off the mark with a four but he too soon perished, cutting a Faheem delivery straight to Sajid at point.<\/p>\n

Pakistan handed batsman Abdullah Shafique a Test debut while Yasir Ali was making his Test bow for Bangladesh in the two-match series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
